br>I think this has been discussed here somewhere before.
Here is the patch:
-Patch inverted out of EG-1 into EG-1 gate so that it will stay triggered and open.
-Patch out of EG-1 into Miniwave In and send minwave to attenuator or VCA, I am using the Sonic Alienator as an attenuator then straight into my 002r recording interface.

Put EG-1 into LFO mode by switching it to LFO/ADSR and turn the sustain all the way down( 4 o clock)
attack, release and time base at 6 o clock

feed a sequence into the decay CV in(i am using the binary zone),
decay acts as a tune for the "oscillations",
play with the level knob a little, i like it at 12 oclock.

Now cycle through those miniwave banks 8_)

Its still isn't a saw wave, but it is the right voltage

I'll be back later with audio, and hopefully better descriptions and less distracted and scatterbrained.
Right now I want to jump back into this critical thinking/chess game that is modular synthesis.

Its crazy how many modules can do similar functions (a filter can be an oscilator, a semi VCA, a filter... an EG can be an EG, and LFO, and now an Osc) br> br>

br>Yeah this is something i learnt about the EG1 when i had 2 modules. I can't remember if i read about it or found it because there was only so many jacks i could play with.
Do you have a scope? I'd be interested to see a shot of the waveform- i think it might be a downward ramp or negative sawtooth, but i'm not sure.
Different settings of the A,D, S & R change the shape/sound. It's actually a reasonable oscillator for FM duties when you don't have a real one. br> br>

That sounds familiar
After being away from my synth for almost 2 years(some of them are still packed and stored) its good to be back on the horse again.(with 4 moduels)

I think it(EG-1) is a triangle wave, but not sure.

I don't have a scope but my friend LorinP does, we will be jamming soon and I will check it out there 8_)

Something I really want to try is to get a second miniwave, feed 1 miniwave with the EG-1 as an oscilator, then shape it with the minwave into a saw, then feed that saw into the second miniwave

oh here is a short clip: br> br>

br>I've driven the Miniwave from the VCS but never tried the EG1, nice tip. br> br>

br>yeah i used to do this sort of thing with an ms-20, using the envelopes as oscillators. will try it with the blacet stuff too! good patch! br> br>

Cool

I am going to try that sometime, whenever I get a "real" oscillator br> br>

br>Muff Wiggler

br>almost every single module i own can be used as a 'oscillator' or an 'envelope generator'. not the descriptors I would give to them personally, but it doesn't stop it from being true.

it's one of the reasons I got into modular synths 8_) br> br>

I Function!

ooohhh, I got my 2nd M/W Im gonna try EG1->M/W->M/W! br> br>

Awesome Let us know how that works out!

I am really curious. br> br>

br>DGTom

br>I gotta say... I got some odd results! Will go back to it tomorrow I think.

In one patch the 1st miniwave didn't make in differance to the sound... no matter what bank / wave, all sounded the same. I will collate all the info about the differant ROMs I'm using - 4 across 2 Miniwaves - so I can take a more stratigic stab at it. br> br>

Hmmmm....Strange.
Was the miniwave input select set to receive +5 or +10 v?
Make sure it is on +10v. br> br>

br>DGTom

br>That might have been it!

I think I will also need to use the 2 in the reverse order I was doing it in due to the way the boards are organized. br> br>
